La Hamburguesa de la Noche

[Phieta]

Ladies and gentlemen... La Hamburguesa de la Noche has arrived! If you saw the movie jcz1987 posted awhile ago with a talking hamburger, this is it in its full form (that was just one scene).

What in the hecks took you so long?
Well, first I had to work out what had to be removed from the internet version (in this case, A.J.'s and Johnny's last names), then the master DVD got stolen and microwaved, then I couldn't get my video editing stuff to work on XP... but now everything's come together.

OK, that's nice, but what is it?
In short, it's a movie my friends did for their Spanish class, and I was invited to be an extra. It's basically 7.5 minutes of subtitled, dubbed hilarity featuring bad acting and such.

How do I get myself a copy of this fine film?
Currently the address is http://phiburger.zapto.org/La_Hamburguesa_...ernet_Edit).avi. The compression made the subtitles a bit blurry so I made a list of them for ya - it's not a full script; just the subtitles. That is available at http://phiburger.zapto.org/Hamburguesa_Subs.txt.

The movie is encoded with DivX, so you may not be able to play it right away. If this is the case simply go to www.divx.com and download the free version - it has no adware or spyware, and you don't have to use the DivX Player (once installed you can view the movie through Media Player, Winamp, etc). As for the list of subtitles, I'd laugh at you if you can't open a TXT file.

Also... both files are hosted on my personal computer! For the time being I'll try and keep it going 24/7, but if my computer or internet connection is off, no downloads. Sorry.

So who's in it?
Bad Acting
Pete - Crazy guy; Tall zombie
Matt - Guy who gives the story's moral
A.J. - Kid in Batman costume; Kid being chased by zombies (center of group); Anonymous Alien
Johnnie - Short zombie; Presidente Bob
Josh - Kid in... yellow costume thing; Kid being chased by zombies (right of group)
Justin - Scream guy; Kid being chased by zombies (leftt of group)

Crappy voiceovers
Pete - Crazy guy; Narrator who says "¡El tempesto es aqui!"; Presidente Bob
Matt - Flying saucer sound effects
A.J. - Kid in Batman costume; Scream guy; La Hamburguesa; Kid being chased by zombies (center of group); Anonymous Alien; Guy who gives the story's moral
Josh - Kid being chased by zombies (right of group)
Frank (not in credits) - Kid in... yellow costume thing; stab sound effect
Justin - Kid being chased by zombies (left of group)

"right of group" "left of group" and "center of group" refer to when the kids FIRST appear and are skipping towards the camera.

So what else can you tell me?
Everything through La Hamburguesa's speech was filmed in or around Justin's house; everything afterwards was filmed on Fort Ord. La Hamburguesa's speech was done while we filmed; the rest of the dubbing was done at school, during lunch, on a laptop and a crappy microphone.

111 mb? wow even with my 3 mb/s connection that would take FOREVER

[jcz1987]

Yes it will take long but its worth the wait. You guys will like it if you know Spanish. Dont worry, there are English Subtitles with it.

[ec437]

hahaha, I was gonna say email it to me cause I can make it a smaller file, but then I realized that that still required me to download it

[Phieta]

Lol, realized VIrtualDub isn't just for capturing tweaking settings now and hoping for better results. And I know I can get it better, because I have a bunch of movies that are also in XviD format - each is 25 minutes long at 640X480, high quality, and only 175 MB. This is 7.5 minutes at 352X240, high quality, and 111 MB... so I can do better eventually.

Hey, I'm new to encoding, gimme a break

EDIT: The good doctor has been bribed and a 33.5 MB version is available if you'll kindly check the top post.

[jcz1987]

All right now people can download it now easier!

[jcz1987]

Oh yeah, when I showed this to my class, The kids liked it, but the teacher origanally gave us a 68% on it. I had to talk with him for almost an hour just to make him watch it again and give us a 95%. This movie took us three weeks to make while other kids only made a crappy poster in one day and got a 100%. (DAMN YOU MR. ARELLANO!!)

[Karen512]

That movie was freaking funny!

You and your friends did a real good job Justin!

[jcz1987]

Yay!! One saw it fianly cmon people, over a 100 have seen this thread and only one viewed it. Pretty sad.

[Phieta]

Bump and a sigpic... two bits!

You need a mirror or something, I got a 6mbps connection, and I'm downloading at 3kbps.

[Phieta]

Yeah, I know it sucks... but only 3kbps? SHould be around 20 o_O I could restart I suppose, and see if that helps.

As for getting a mirror, I can't find a place that will let me host a 33.5 MB file for free (except for one friend who hasn't replied to me yet)...

[blindside.AMG]

I downloaded it, but it won't play the video, on the sounds.

[Marc-OS]

Finally finished downloading it. Hilarious! I give it 2 thumbs up!

[jcz1987]

Yay two people watched and liked it! It looks like well be in Hollywood sooner than I thought.
